fully agree with this. this is how i've voted in the past (and to an 
extent, this time as well.). that said, i think it's good to get to know 
the candidates a bit more beyond the initial, often heavily vetted, 
self-nominations. i don't know if this will change anything but 
hopefully it stops the downward trend we have for TC election turnout.
